HopYacht 30 Catamaran

Want to hear from the builders of the HopYacht boats? See our exclusive interview with them now.

Lifestyle & Use

This 30ft catamaran is designed for relaxed sailing, with comfort on board as a top priority. Ideal for couples or a family with young children for coastal sailing or island hopping. The optimised living space in the cockpit and cabin areas are on one level. With a beam of just 3.44m, it fits comfortably into the same marina berth as a typical 36-40ft monohull, lowering your marina costs.

Unique Features

A single furling sail makes sailing easier and much more relaxed. The helm station has 360-degree visibility making docking easy, especially with the quiet twin electric motors equipped with fingertip control throttles. The entire yacht fits neatly into two standard 40 ft containers to be shipped safely and securely.

Design & Build

Designed by the award-winning team at Du Toit Yacht design and built by HopYacht (Pty) Limited in South Africa, this yacht is built to CE certification standards. Paul and Mary-Clare Tomes of HopYacht were recently awarded at SABBEX's yearly awards ceremony in the “Excellence in Sustainability” category for their all-electric sailing catamaran.

Prices & Process

The quoted price for this vessel includes basic specifications. Build time is around 4.5 months. The price is subject to change based on the choice of engine and other customisations. A detailed quote can be provided upon request.

Hi Jim. Having spoken to the yard the cruising speed is 4.5 knots and top speed 7.5 knots. As could be expected the sea state will affect these numbers. I bumped into one of the yard owners, Paul, yesterday at Royal Cape Yacht Club, Cape Town. He was busy loading the first of the full electric versions (no sail) which is on its way to the Farr East. The owner had ordered it with a extra 10kw battery bringing the total up-to 38.8kw!

What are full speed and cruising speed under electric please? you quote the time but not the speeds.

Jim B2023-10-03 13:18:27

Hi Innes. Have referred your question to the HopYacht management and they came back with the following answer. Best rgds, Bruce Stirk (Head New Build Boats)
"Apart from all the systems being grounded and a galvanic isolator there is no built in lightning protection on the standard boat. This could be offered as an option. The boat is built to CE certification category C. "

Bruce S2023-05-10 12:38:39

What happens to the electrical systems if this boat receives a lightening strike? Is there any protection built in for this event ?
What rating is this boat ?
